HAYTER APD 80
Ship Name and Designation History
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.
Keel Laid August 11 1943 - Launched November 11 1943 |
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

Postmarks
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

NAMESAKE - Hubert Montgomery Hayter USN (October 17 1901 - November 30 1942)
Hayter graduated from the Naval Academy in 1924. In the following years he served on Battleship USS ARIZONA BB-39, Destroyer USS YARBOROUGH DD-314, and other ships, taking command of USS RAMSAY DM-16 in 1939. Lt. Comdr. Hayter was transferred to USS NEW ORLEANS CA-32 February 5 1941, and was aboard her during the attack at Pearl Harbor December 7 1941. Hayter was killed during an action with Japanese forces off Savo Island November 30 1942, while serving as Damage Control Officer when NEW ORLEANS received a torpedo hit, and as Central Station, his battle post, filled with asphyxiating gas, he ordered all men without masks to leave the compartment, giving his own to a partially stricken seaman. After clearing the compartment of all personnel, Lt. Cmdr. Hayter was finally overcome by the fumes. For this extraordinary act of heroism, he was posthumously awarded The Navy Cross
